Which food will trigger migraine headaches?

As I said before, migraines are triggered by a number of factors. In most of the cases, migraine headaches are triggered by certain foods like peanuts, caffeine (NOT just coffee), dairy products, avocados, canned soups, and list goes on. While some of those foods might trigger a migraine for you, they could be O.K. for someone else. A good advice would be to keep a journal of what you eat everyday to try to find what exactly will trigger a migraine for you.

What else will trigger a migraine?

Stress, anxiety, fatigue, certain medications, and alcohol will also trigger migraines. You need to understand that migraines are triggered by your lifestyle, and that to prevent and control them, you need to modify your habits.

But what to do if I still get a migraine?

First, relax and don’t panic. Prepare yourself a compress of cold water and lay down on your bed, in the dark. Remove any noise, distraction or source of stress near you and relax. Two other well-know natural home remedies for migraines are massage and acupressure. A massage will relieve those stressed muscles that will occasionally trigger a migraine. You may also try to massage the little indented zone in front of your ears with your thumbs, doing circular movements.
